Thanks Lee for me it was a nightmare since the gipsy had no driving licence
but after a few days i had a call from insurance office and started ordering parts and papers to fix my car again !

My car had no bumper bars only the custom made aluminum ones that i made ,there was no damage to them.

Damage cost was
150 euro for the rear bumper
120 euro for the front lip
35 euro for the front bumper
50 euro for rear taillight
~ 400 euro for repair/paint

insurance covered all the cost

waiting for parts to arrive
but since i use the car daily used some tape to rear tailight and front bumper to keep things in place for now also removed the rear
and visited the friends garage from some tightening/checking subframe,lca bolts under the car never done this before all these years own the car.
Surprisingly the front subframe main bolts had taken some tight the rear was fresh already from the function 7 install.

Car was in for the repair and i was boring...
dog dosen't care that much anyway so i made a lightweigt windscreen fluid bottle
since i removed completelly the oem one.
I used a thinner bottle and parts i had here and there in the garage.

A couple of days later car was almost ready need to fit the front lip thought.
As you can see front/rear bumper have no trims just like the ek9 !
I was really happy with the outcome !
Front bumper is from a civic coupe bougth it from here in Greece and the rear was imported from UK
also bought an original ek9 rear wing as a replacement to the old fiberglass i had.

Meanwhile bought a secondhand itr throttle body and open it like spoon did .
The ventury size is 70+mm inlet 66mm outlet.
Used a dremmel tool to smooth edges and some metal polish cream to mirror finish the inside.

Front lip arrived,painted and it's on !
It's a mugen replica.
Originally mugen made this for the facelifht ek but the knockoffers copyed that for the prefaces too lol.
I covered the edges of the lip with some black matte vinyl sticker for cleaner look.

thanks mate !
there are no ek9's in my place so stickers make it special to my eyes
if i had the car in Uk def no stickers there or an original 9 would be ideal

Intake manifold had a small leak so removed it to fix that among with some other bugs.
Also going to relocate oil pressure sensors.
Replace some of the blue silicon hoses with oem honda.
Going to paint black most of the mounts in the engine bay and add some more black tone to that.
Then install the ventury throttle body and make the intake arm transision from 3,5'' to 3'' i think that will give more engine responce.
I had a week free from job for that task and a super hot weather temperature was reaching 40 degrees celsius !
But hobbies are fun anyway

 

[abunai888]

intake manifold was cleaned among with all sensors, new o-rings etc
venturi throttle is on.
